Domestic violence can take the form of physical, psychological, or economic abuse, and it is a national issue that affects people of all ages and genders, though the majority of victims are women. Survivors do not report abuse for many reasons, including fear of gaslighting. Despite years of progress, domestic violence remains a silent epidemic. 

The foundation works to help survivors heal and aims to use education and advocacy to transform the way society responds to violence. You can donate to fund Joyful Heart's efforts here. You can also spread awareness about the foundation's #SupportAfterDV campaign, which allows survivors to anonymously share how they were supported by loved ones after their experience.
